We need him... I guess Paletta have to do... But if that coach plays Bonucci... Its a big mistake.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Nah, prandelli prefers paletta, DARMIAN - paletta - chiellini - ds

There will be draw or lose for Italy in the group stages. They never grab 9 points.

 

[AOD4]

We better strike off Costa Rica soon, rather than risking it too the last game against Uruguay.

 

[Joe]

If De Sciglio is back and Barzagli needs a day off, I think Prandelli will want to use Paletta over Bonucci as well.

 

[ADP1897]

It's a chance to make sure to qualify
Next against uruguay, we should avoid same mistake like Holland imo...

 

[AOD4]

Costa Rica is more scary than England . They would be more accustomed to the weather and they play fast football.
It will be tough for our team to cope with their pace with the weather condition.

We'll not play the game at pace just like we did against england.Prior to england game,thats what everyone was talking.End of the game,19 year old sterling was panting like a bitch while pirlo stood like he could go on for another 90.
Not saying we'll definitely win,but it sure won't be heat or pace that would be responsible.

Verratti deserves another chance, don't pull him…

Let Prandelli rotate the squad around. Remember, Italy is playing three games in the tropical and humid Northern Brazil, it will be wise for Prandelli to manage the squad correctly.

Rotate when we qualify But for now play the best team. Also your comment about the tropics and the humid don't hold anymore they are climatised by now.

Problem is he hasn't been given a chance to let this injury clear up properly, we needed him and now Italy do. Hopefully he gets good treatment after the tournament.

Costa Rica may be scary becaue of what they did to Uruguay and because of the weather but if we're going to be scared of Costa Rica then might as well jump on Spain's plane back home. This is a MUST WIN game for Italy, need to kill it fast and swiftly because having to play a final game with Uruguay in which we need a result to me is more scary.

I hope they come out with the mindset to win tomorrow and then the Uruguay game Prandelli could play the kids like he did vs Flumenese!

 

[JuveJay]

I think the idea in this game is to limit Costa Rica to few attacks, with dominant possession. We hardly want to see Bonucci turned and running back towards his own goal.

 

[Joe]

It's Costa Rica guys…No offence but I don't think anyone thought CR would pick up a point this tournament.

Costa Rica will be more accustomed to the climate but ultimately lack the quality compared to England. This game is a must win.

England have much more pace than Costa Rica but CR will be more accustomed to the climate but ultimately lack the quality compared to England. This game is a must win.

I hope you're right. I just don't want a surprise. I hope the guys are 100% super focused and don't take CR lightly. I think seeing how they beat Uruguay will make them focus.

Costa Rica has a better midfield than Uruguay and could actually get the ball to their lightning fast attacking players.

Uruguay has a midfield of gargano-arevalo rios LMFAO
